Chapter Thirty Six

Viktor

I’m sitting at my desk staring at emails trying to get work done. But I can’t. Between clan business and Manarch Industries, I’m spread thin. This thing with the Irish and my father is shedding more blood than anticipated. Fights are getting out of control between the Irish and the clan. That is not adding the tension within the clan. I told my father getting in bed with the Irish was a disaster waiting to happen. But he just doesn't give a fuck. My phone rings, and the screen reads Oliver. I’m dreading the call. Every time he calls, it is to give me bad news, and I’m still avoiding him. His refusal to tell me where Ava is continues to piss me off.

“What do you want?”

“Where are you?” He asks out of breath.

“The office. Why are you out of breath? What’s wrong?” I ask, already standing from my desk.

“Ava is in labor. She is at her apartment. She called because that punk Max is with her, and she needs her family. I’m on my way, but you should be there.”

“Thank you. I know things between us haven’t been the greatest when it comes to Ava.”

“Water under the bridge. Her contractions are twelve to fifteen minutes apart, according to her. You are closer than I am.” I’m out the building hailing a cab. No time to wait for my SUV.

“I’m getting in a cab. We need at least four men.”

“I’ll make the calls.”

“I want Angus, Marcos, Ray, and Beastie. I don’t want to take any chances.”

“Done. Don’t forget to stay calm. She sounded scared under her cool tone.”

“See you there.” I end the call.

I tell the cab her address. I’m a ball of nerves, but I’m happy I get the chance to see my son be born. Even though I hate that she called Oliver and not me, I’m grateful she did. She needs her family by her side. She needs me. I hand the driver cash to get out of the car, which has barely stopped. This is the moment I’ve dreamt of. I don’t bother knocking on the door. I turn the knob, and to my surprise, it is open. Max is sitting on the couch as I hear Ava’s cry of pain. I follow her voice. She is in the bathtub gripping it, eyes closed, trying to breathe through a contraction.

“I’m here,” I tell her. Her eyes snap open.

“You shouldn’t be,” she tells me. I get on my knees and comb loose hairs off her face.

“I’m exactly where I need to be.”

“Where is Oliver? He is such a traitor.” She lets out a breath. It makes me chuckle.

“He wouldn’t like it if he heard you.”

“Right now, I don’t care,” she screams.

“What do you need?” I caress her face.

“We still have time. I’ve been trying to time the contractions, but it isn’t easy.” I take my phone out. For the last two weeks, I’ve been reading, preparing for this moment in the hope that she would let me be here.
